Louis Metaireau Carte Noire Muscadet Sur Lie White Wine Vintage 2022

Louis Metaireau’s Carte Noir Cuvee Muscadet 2022 offers an elegant expression of Loire Valley viticulture, crafted from sustainably farmed Melon de Bourgogne grapes in France’s renowned Muscadet region. This crisp white wine captivates with its aromatic complexity—think fresh citrus blossoms intertwined with subtle mineral undertones—a signature of terroir-driven wines from this coastal appellation.

Perfectly balanced acidity cuts through rich dishes like duck confit or smoked salmon, while its bright finish pairs harmoniously with terrines, shellfish, or cured meats. The 12.5% alcohol content ensures approachable freshness without overpowering lighter fare, making it a versatile choice for casual dinners or refined gatherings alike.

Winemaker Louis Metaireau highlights this cuvée’s ability to elevate everyday meals through its layered flavors: floral hints meet a saline minerality that lingers on the palate, reflecting Muscadet’s unique maritime climate. Whether enjoyed alongside grilled white fish or as an aperitif with cheese platters, this Black Label bottling delivers sophistication without pretense.

Sourced from sustainably managed vineyards in the Loire Valley’s western reaches, this 2022 vintage showcases Muscadet’s understated elegance—a refreshing alternative to heavier whites while maintaining depth for adventurous palates.
